For new graduates
Proof library
A new graduate's advantage is proof of work already done, not a more polished resume. This page lists the public sources we will cite, in their words, with the link and the date we read them. It does not estimate your odds of being hired. When you have a posting, match it, or practice the free question for that job.
What do the primary sources actually say?

No economy-wide job displacement. Employment of workers ages 22–25 in AI-exposed occupations stands 19 percent below the pace of less-exposed peers. The authors call this descriptive, not causal.

Frequently asked questions
What is this library?
A short list of primary sources a new graduate can open: the ILO, the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the Stanford and ADP payroll study, and O*NET. Each line is the publisher's finding, not our paraphrase of a blog.
Does the 19 percent figure mean entry-level jobs were erased?
No. The August 2026 Stanford paper says it finds no economy-wide displacement. The 19 percent is how far employment of workers ages 22 to 25 in AI-exposed occupations sits below the pace of less-exposed peers the same age. The authors call it a descriptive indicator, not a causal estimate.
What should I do with a posting?
Match the job, 5 tokens, to see which requirements your record already proves. Or take the free Prova question, Tell me about yourself, for that job. Proof does not substitute for experience you do not have.
What is the next step on a real job?
Practice the free question for a job you are applying to. It does not spend tokens.
